That's why it's very important to use high quality a-brand PSU's and not let them run 24/7 at 80%+ load.
seasonic, corsair.... ect. i figured 2 7950s not being pushed would be fine on 750 watts. psu must have been a little older than i thought or had an issue. the 2 7970s and system was running on a 1000 watter.

How do you guys feel about opening a new thread for collecting fire countermeasures? I am sure this is of interest to many. I imagine almost everyone says "So, let's hope nothing bad happens" when leaving a newly prepared multi-KW setup unattended for the first night. Also, I saw people making observations in different places (e. g. powered vs unpowered risers etc), so why not collect them? Of course, I have a sticky mega-thread in mind with listed incidents, postmortems, general advice etc But it would be already nice to collect some thoughts under a thread name that can be found easily by those interested..

Yeah.. I can understand that you're sad about the equipment. But you should really consider yourself lucky that you weren't on vacation yet, that you had installed a smoke detector and that you had a fire extinguisher ready. I don't know if it's possible to change the thread name afterwards.. What do you think about "Avoiding fire: Sources of risk and how to keep your mining operations safer"?

Sorry to hear about your loss I know !!!! the only way it could have been worse would have been if the whole house would have burned down!!! This just means a fresh start in the mining world (More or less) now waiting for my shed i ordered on ebay today for the new stuff (not going to risk it again)!!! Thanks for your support man!!!

At least you are safe, your house is still there and you still have your coins. It could be worse, a lot worse.

What is an "asic cube"? Was it the power supply that was at fault?

I see you changed the name of the thread, jeppe. So do you want to make your thread into a collection of incidents and tips? I just ask because I was about to open another thread, and we don't need two of them^^
dmeter: Was the diameter of the cables of the adapter not sufficient? Do you know how many watts the card was likely to be pulling through your adapter? I always buy the cheapest adapters from ebay, maybe I should stop that..

This person has been scamming this board for a long time coming up with different stories every time you know what give you away asking for help that is a dead ringer for a scammer. The thing is this when someone wants a dollar they tell them why they need a dollar when a person could use a dollar they hope someone would give them a dollar without asking.

Those wires looks really thin.
Honestly, this looks more like a wiring problem than a cube problem.

I have a question somewhat related to this topic for tips on how to stay prepared for the worst case scenario. Does anyone have recommendations for miners or me (who mine at their house) to insure their equipment for a worst case scenario (theft, fire, flood, etc)?
I called my insurance company regarding what is covered and was told that my current policy only covers $5k total for electrical goods in the house. Even before mining I was in excess of that amount due to TVs, laptops, desktops, tablets, etc. I asked for information regarding how to insure my ‘custom computers’ and was told that I needed a ‘personal article rider’ for each computer. For everyone who may be curious, I have State Farm insurance and was quoted a price of $2.2 for every $100 for the ‘personal article rider’. At this time I do not have the policy as I have been trying to figure out of there is a better alternative and am looking for whatever advice can be given.

Ive had PSU cables melt, and boards and cards blow out and a fury of smoke.
Its definitely an issue. You need to have smoke detectors, preferably the kind that email/text you if you are away from home.
Also, a fire extinguisher. Those things can save your miners, your house, or people lives.
